Coming up on Washington Week with The Atlantic:

Middle East Tensions and Biden’s Dilemma: 

This week, President Biden has been forced to address fallout from the war in Gaza on two fronts; here in the United States as pro-Palestinian protests spread across college campuses—and abroad, as the war remains central to the conversations surrounding what could be a historic security pact between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.

On a special edition of Washington Week with The Atlantic, moderator Jeffrey Goldberg will discuss this and more with Thomas L. Friedman, a Foreign Affairs Columnist at The New York Times. 

Major funding for “Washington Week with The Atlantic” is provided by Consumer Cellular, the Yuen Foundation, Sandra and Carl DeLay-Magnuson, Rose Hirschel and Andy Shreeves, Robert and Susan Rosenbaum, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and PBS.
